wasn’t as cheap as i’d like and i’m still not 100% sure its 100% fixed. I fitted a new in tank pump (£70 ish) a pump relay (£20 ish)and an O ring for the fuel pressure regulator (£1.50 ish) before i took it in. about £240 later they’d run a load of tests and soaked the injectors in the sonic bath for a few hours. sadly AA warranty turned round and said that because it was injecter related it was out side of warranty and they wouldn’t pay out. at least they didn’t charge me for the bit where i had to take it to halfords (their instruction not my choice)where they plugged their code reader in and anounced that they couldn’t fix this code.

other than its one faulter its been ok though i have been driving it more cautiously than usual, and haven’t had the mapping put back on it yet.
As for a name i call her Alice, every alice i’ve encountered had a dark side, between the blood red butterflies on her sides, ground lighting and remapped engine she keeps true to her name, even if there has been a bit of stroppyness sneaking in recently

if you absolutly have to have
if you absolutly have to have to have tv then may be some thing like this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Caravan-Satellite-System-Camping-Satellite-Kit-complete-Portable-Satellite-kit-/280835556331?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Satellite_TV_Receivers&hash=item41631a83eb
should get rid of a lot of the signal issues and i suspect you might find a few more english language channels.

I’ve not poked my head in
I’ve not poked my head in here yet so its about time i did. I am still interested in getting together with you folks, my september/october are pretty hectic with work and other commitments but you never know, i still have a couple of weekends free (well one in each month) so i might make it. Van has been pretty well behaved since its had its injectors deep cleaned with the exeption of the one really hot day we had a few weeks back when it decided to limp home again. but touch wood its been ok (and guzzled a fair bit of Redx) since then.

if you don’t have a
if you don’t have a multimeter then get one its going to be really useful figuring out whats going on with electrics.
in this case, hook the multimeter to read the voltage of the leisure battery. now start the van. if the meter is reading 13 volt or above then charge is been pushed to it. now flip the switch, if the voltage drops to 12v(ish) and below (or visa versa) then that switch controls the split charge. if nothing happens then either that switch controls some thing else, or its broken.

as for how the swapping about goes. most systems be they simple relays or posh multi step chargers the swap is automatic. If the engine is running then then the leisure battery is charging, turn it off and the leisure battery is isolated from the vehicle starter battery to you can’t flatten your means of getting home. some people add a switch inline with the wire that signals the relay to close (not the main feed between the batteries) so they can have more control over the charging and prevent the leisure battery been charged if it is know to already be full.
